WWE Denies Bad Bunny’s Claim About Backlash 2025 in Mexico

One Big Thing

The Quote

“We were there until we could bring WWE to Puerto Rico. And man, I actually feel like it was good for them and for everyone, because I saw that last year Backlash was in France, now it’s going to Mexico. They saw that it worked,” Bad Bunny said in his Rolling Stone interview.

Why It Matters

By The Numbers
